Hangover Burger Hash Bacon (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Burger Patties

01 - 2 pounds ground beef (80/20 blend)
02 - 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
03 - 1 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
04 - 1 teaspoon garlic powder
05 - 1/4 cup minced jalapeño
06 - 1/4 cup minced yellow onion

→ Hangover Sauce

07 - 1/4 cup ketchup
08 - 1/4 cup mayonnaise
09 - 1 to 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce, to taste

→ Toppings and Assembly

10 - 4 thick slices pepper jack cheese
11 - 2 cups frozen hash browns, cooked until crispy
12 - 8 slices thick-cut bacon, fried until crispy
13 - 4 large eggs, fried over easy
14 - 4 large hamburger buns
15 - Butter, for toasting buns

# Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, combine ground beef, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, minced jalapeño, and onion. Mix gently until just incorporated. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty about 1/2 inch larger than the hamburger buns. Press a shallow dimple in the center of each patty to prevent bulging during cooking. Refrigerate patties until ready to grill.
02 - Stir together ketchup, mayonnaise, and sriracha sauce in a small bowl. Adjust the amount of sriracha to reach preferred spice level. Set the sauce aside.
03 - Cook hash browns in a skillet over medium-high heat until crisp and golden. Fry bacon slices until thoroughly crisp. Butter the cut sides of the hamburger buns. Keep all components warm until assembly.
04 - Preheat grill to 450°F (232°C). Place chilled burger patties on the grill and cook for 3 minutes without disturbing. Flip patties and cook 1 to 2 minutes longer. Lay a slice of pepper jack cheese over each patty and cook until cheese is melted and the desired doneness is achieved. Meanwhile, place buttered buns cut-side down over indirect heat to toast until golden.
